[Xymon] Xymon status does not get updated

[Root, Paul]

Xymon comes with a proxy.

You turn it on in tasks.cfg

First, set Big Brother to 1986, or something. Sorry, I don't know how to do that.

Second, set the xymon server to another port:

[xymond]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        CMD xymond --listen=0.0.0.0:1985 --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.pid --restart=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk --checkpoint-file=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.log --admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$XYMONSERVERIP --store-clientlogs=!msgs

You'll also need to have xymonnet go to the right place.

[xymonnet]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        NEEDS xymond
        CMD XYMONDPORT=1984 xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymon-network.log
        INTERVAL 5m

And of course, the repeat process:

[xymonnetagain]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        NEEDS xymond
        CMD XYMONDPORT=1984 $XYMONHOME/ext/xymonnet-again.sh
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonnet-again.log
        INTERVAL 1m

I would guess that Big Brother has the same sort of deal.

Then set the proxy on port 1984:

[xymonproxy]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        CMD $XYMONHOME/bin/xymonproxy --server=127.0.0.1:1985,127.0.0.1:1986 --listen=0.0.0.0:1984 --report=$MACHINE.xymonproxy --no-daemon --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.pid
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.log
